From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

National DV Count
The National Network to End Domestic Violence released the results of a national census, having domestic violence programs around the country report the number of people seeking assistance during one 24-hour period in November 2006. Over 1000 programs responded (60% of the programs identified). In that one day, over 47,000 adults and children were served, almost a third in emergency shelters. Over half received non-residential services, such as counseling, legal advocacy, and children's support groups. Executive Summary; full report.
